October’s new EP for Skudge is one for the warehouse: both in
nostalgic and progressive terms, October seem to have recorded the
timelessness and his soul into the forth installment of Skudge Presents.

‘Push’ accelerates and keeps on going until it ends, where a
lot of weight is put on keeping the groove. Sparse vocal repetition,
used perfectly as a glue for the beat, brings a lot of promise and
delivers—this is one for those hours where everything comes together.

A more personal track sees the light on the B side, where
‘Empire of Man’ is even more of a journey. Where a lot of music seem to
focus on function, this track combines both function and style into
perfection.

Long time Skudge favorite Aardvarck has a extensive catalog, where
quality and quantity seem to go hand in hand. After doing a excellent
job of shaking and twisting down the big ‘Convolution’ track, Aardvarck
now sees his own production on the third record on Skudge Presents.

On the A side, ‘Yogya’ walks all over most tracks today—a hint of some
lost 12″, long forgotten in the haze of the mid-90’s, blended and tuned
in into today’s standards, this is a track made for the future, where
styles really collide in a very unique way.

‘Brawa’ is leaning more towards a swinging sound, where the funk has all
emphasis and weight. A track that goes well in hand with pretty much
everything.

Last but not least, ‘Tengenan’ is a excellent and near perfect example
what happens if you let loose. A soundtrack to a night where everything
is forgotten and forgiven, a theme for a place where we do what ever we
want to do.
